The highlighted ingredient is caviar. The earliest accounts of caviar date back to the 1240s during the epoch of Mongol ruler Batu Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan. Traditional caviar is defined as a pickled roe from sturgeon and other fish. Most of the world's caviar comes from the Caspian Sea, which is bordered by Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Iran. The people who make caviar are called Ikrjanschik. Before making it they must undergo an apprenticeship that lasts anywhere from 10 to 15 years. At The Twisted Tines we like to make different types of caviar, by cooking down liquids and adding a few gelatin packets, and by dropping them into cold oil caviar is made.

Ahi Crudo

The highlighted dish is a Seared Ahi Crudo. The word Ahi refers to two types of tuna in Hawaii, yellowfin and bigeye tuna. Here at The Twisted Tines, we like to use yellowfin tuna for our ahi dishes. Though they are caught year-round, Yellowfin is most abundant during the summer months of May to September. All Hawaii yellowfin tuna are line-caught, most of the yellowfin tuna is caught by deep-set longline fishing gear offshore of Hawaii. The rest of Hawaii's landings come from trollers, hardliners, and pole & line boats. Ways to prepare ahi include sautéed, raw (sashimi, sushi, poke), broiled, seared, grilled, dried
